3-mode Smart Import (natural-language, recruiter email, screenshot OCR) with on-device text extraction, dual list/Kanban dashboards, analytics suite, and offline-first storage — built as a focused case study.

About the Project

SmartJobTracker (ApplyMate) is an offline-first React Native app built to help job seekers track and optimize their full hiring pipeline from first application to final outcome. The product replaces scattered spreadsheets and notes with one focused workflow: fast capture, structured status tracking, and clear analytics.

The core differentiator is a 3-mode Smart Import system. Users can add jobs by typing naturally, pasting recruiter emails, or importing screenshots. The app parses company, role, and status using rule-based NLP patterns and on-device OCR, then auto-fills the form for quick confirmation.

Architecture combines Redux Toolkit + redux-persist for authentication, and a lightweight global listener pattern for high-frequency job updates across list and Kanban views. AsyncStorage powers local persistence, enabling a reliable offline-first experience.

The experience includes animated dashboards, dual list/board workflows, detailed job timelines, and visual analytics with bar and pie charts. ApplyMate is designed for speed, clarity, and consistency so users can focus on interviews and offers instead of manual tracking overhead.

Technical Breakdown

Feature areas & implementation details

Smart Import Engine
▸Quick mode parses natural phrases like 'Applied to Google for frontend role'
▸Email parser detects status (Applied/Interview/Offer/Rejected) from recruiter language
▸Screenshot flow runs on-device OCR via react-native-text-recognition
▸Auto-extracts company and role using fallback regex and keyword cascades
▸Graceful errors and manual fallback when OCR text quality is low
Architecture & State
▸Dual-state strategy: Redux Toolkit for auth and custom global listener pattern for jobs
▸Auth persisted with redux-persist and AsyncStorage rehydration
▸Job mutations broadcast through subscribers for instant cross-screen sync
▸Typed domain models for Job, ParsedJob, auth state, and navigation routes
▸Modular screen/component structure for maintainable scaling
Tracking Workflows
▸Home dashboard with list and Kanban tabs for two management styles
▸Status cards, filters, and search across company, role, and notes
▸Job cards with pinning, quick status move, delete confirmation, and relative timestamps
▸Job detail screen with progress timeline and inline edit mode
▸Not-found state handling for externally removed records
Analytics & Insights
